FONDAZIONE NICOLA TRUSSARDI SPECIAL PUBLIC PROGRAM PARTNER OF PARIS INTERNATIONALE MILANO
CONVERSATIONS DEDICATED TO ITALIAN CONTEMPORARY ART
PARIS INTERNATIONALE MILANO
SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2026
11.30 AM – 7.30 PM
MILANO, PALAZZO GALBANI
What does it mean to be an artist in Italy today? Which structures support — or hinder — artistic production? Does it still make sense to speak of “Italian art”?
APERTO ITALIA turns the opening of Paris Internationale Milano into a space for exchange and reflection — a platform for conversation rather than a traditional exhibition.
A project by Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Special Public Program Partner of the fair, reactivating the legacy of “Aperto” as a critical tool for the present.
Artists participating in Aperto Italia include Yuri Ancarani, Simone Berti, Carlo Benvenuto, Ambra Castagnetti, Guglielmo Castelli, Giulia Cenci, Sara Enrico, Chiara Enzo, Linda Fregni Nagler, Elisa Giardina Papa, Marcello Maloberti, Margherita Manzelli, Daniele Milvio, Margherita Morgantini, Adrian Paci, Diego Perrone, Grazia Toderi, Patrick Tuttofuoco, and Grazia Varisco.
The conversations will be moderated in turn by Massimiliano Gioni, Artistic Director, Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan; Nicolas Ballario, journalist and independent curator; Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti, Head Curator, Istituto Svizzero (Rome, Milan, Palermo); Gianfranco Maraniello, Director Museo del Novecento, Milan; Marta Papini, independent curator; and Roberta Tenconi, Curator at Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan.
